Recently fans saw former UFC stars Jorge Masvidal and Nate Diaz fight it out in the boxing ring. That same night, former UFC contender, Darren Till also made his boxing debut at Social Knockout 3. He recently made some interesting comments about his fellow former UFC fighters’ showdown in the boxing ring.
Darren Till recently sat down for a conversation on The MMA Hour. During his conversation with Ariel Helwani, “The Gorilla” said that he respects both Jorge Masvidal and Nate Diaz. However, he was not particularly impressed by what he saw in the boxing ring the other night in California. According to Till the showdown majorly lacked power.
I wasn’t impressed mate. Just like, fluffy hands, just not a lot of power, both looked like they wasn’t in no fit physical shape.
